Thematic Bible
Assurance » Adoption into God's family » Bearing witness to the spiritual adoption of believers
And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.
By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit.
The one who habitually keeps His commandments [obeying His word and following His precepts, abides and] remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He [really] abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us [as a gift].
This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.]
